A Turkey Mystery

"Christmas Turkey"
Me, my mother, my sister Pearl gazing at the turkey about 1962.

The question is, why is the turkey on the table in the pan?? And it’s already been carved.

  1. Despite the informal setting, everyone seems to think it looks good! Most times a photo of a grand holiday dinner gets taken at the start when the food is presented. This looks like the end of the meal, maybe even the next day? I laughed at the A&P grocery ad. Nothing makes you appreciate the old days better than a review of food prices. I just paid $6.00 for Eight O’clock coffee but for only 11 oz, not three pounds at $1.39.

    Hope you have enjoyed a super holiday and have a bright new year! Peace!

    1. We had a wonderful holiday in Savannah with my daughter and now we are back home. Everything always tasted good around our table !
      You are right about those ads. I remember when I bought a pound of hamburger for 69 cents about 1971.

  2. Great match for the turkey theme, and I’m thinking maybe they didn’t have a plate big enough? ? Or, as suggested above, “the next day”?
